That's kinda dependent on what you will be doing.

If you are going to be making a saleable product or make it into a 
career then a scope is essential.

If, like me, it's just a hobby and you are making stuff for your 
personal use (Or for friends) then a multimeter is an absolute must. 
One with a frequency range can come in handy. Some even have 
transistor and capacitor testers built-in. I like the one at 
<www1.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=qm1536>. Also, I have found a 
logic probe useful. A temperature controlled soldering station is a 
must.
